It is ridiculous how a little snow shuts down are government. Man they’d have a tough time in the private sector.

Also, I think that’s a bad link.

I had already taken tomorrow off. My wife works for the DoD and I am kicking her butt out of the house and back to Crystal City.

I told her that since my taxes pay for her salary I was going to make sure she was giving me my money's worth.

“Liberal leave for liberals.”

You’d be surprised how many federal employees are quite conservative.

Little snow?

You obviously weren’t here. I compare this snowstorm to the ones in 1996 and 1966. If you can’t drive on the roads, you can’t go to work.

I’ll be at work tomorrow - but I’ll be very careful getting there.

I'm lazy.

This is always the time to find out who the emergency employees are.

Now wait a minute...

You just have to figure out which 2 people in an office of 25 are actually doing the work.

Then, you have found your conservatives (both of them).
